Title: Fuel Pump
Post by: B Devlin on April 18, 2020, 10:01:02 AM
Folks,

Doing a search through past forum discussions it looks like the correct fuel pump for all '67 GT-500s is one with a screw on fuel filter canister. Is that correct?

A follow on question, what's a good source for one? Looking at several classic Ford and Mustang parts vendors has only confused me.

The car's scheduled build date was 05/26/67. Actual build date is 07/10/67. The S/N last four is 3179.

Thanks,
Bill

The entire 67 GT500 production used the fuelpump with the integral filter . Rebuilding a original button top pump that had the correct FE pump arm is the best way. A alternate but visually less correct is using a aftermarket fuel pump with filter . The same style were used extensively on bb trucks from the 60's to the 70's and consequently a similar looking version is available aftermarket from auto parts store with a little research.Here a link to one such alternative.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Master-6523-Fuel-Pump-1958-67-Ford-60-66-Mercury-V8-352-390-410/264701264309  .You can get the basic search idea from there.

The canister on my Ford pump wasn't plain.  It was painted. This is a reproduction. However, I don't remember the part number on the can.

Yea, they should be white with the red label printed on them.
